Concreteness and imagery effects have been found to be among the most powerful in explaining performance on a variety of language tasks. Concreteness and imagery effects involve the capacity of concrete language to evoke sensory images in the mind (e... |
Conjoint Influence of Maps and Auded Prose on Children’s Retrieval of Instruction |
1994 |
2969 |
Fifth-grade students studied a map of a fictitious island while twice listening to a related narrative containing target feature and nonfeature items. The students were cued by varying iconic and verbal stimuli in four map cue conditions; they receiv... |
Contextual influences of maps and diagrams on learning. |
1995 |
2977 |
In this study, we examined the influence of graphic patterns and their interpretive context on learning accompanying prose. Subjects examined a graphic figure identified as either a map or a diagram and were instructed either to label its vertices wi... |
Differing Map Construction and Text Organization and Their Effects on Retention |
2002 |
2369 |
On the basis of Kulhavy's (R. W. Kulhavy, J. B. Lee, & L. C. Caterino, 1985) conjoint retention model of text learning with organized spatial displays, the authors conducted 2 experiments to analyze the effects of different types of maps and a consid... |
The effect of picture position on learning from an accompanying text. |
1996 |
2922 |
This study examines whether the spatial configuration of two adjunct pictures influences processing of accompanying text as has been found in the case of other types of graphic displays. Forty-eight undergraduates studied a text along with drawings o... |
Epilogue: Unresolved questions about mentoring and technology. |
2003 |
2443 |
As we embrace the concept of e-mentorship, we not only wonder whether face-to-face mentoring can be replaced by an electronic doppelganger (i.e. a phantom twin), but also encounter questions that deal with the fundamental nature of mentoring. What do... |
Guest editor’s introduction: At the nexus of mentoring and technology. |
2003 |
2419 |
With the ever-increasing role of technology as an innovative force in society, we have witnessed major changes in the types of education being developed and in how learning and instruction is conceptualised. Consider, for example, the dramatic rise i... |
Map perspective and the learning of text. |
1995 |
1328 |
In two studies, undergraduates learned a map of the city of Rome in either a flat survey map or a one-point perspective format. The perspective map lead to greater feature recall in the first study and to better memory for a related text when feature... |
National technology standards for K-12 schools: A case study of unresolved issues in public relations. |
2004 |
2581 |
This article addresses an important need—the dissemination of information relating to technology as a public relations tool—and the associated exigency for administrator and teacher technology training. Specifically, we identify the increased expecta... |

This article explores the new and important field of mentoring in higher education. It describes a pilot project that launched the mentoring of new scholars through an academic writing programme. In its inaugural year, this national programme attract... |
Processing attention and question density in computer-based instruction. |
1991 |
2154 |
The effect of density of embedded post-questions on learning from computer-based instruction (CBI) was studied among 90 sixth-graders randomly assigned to three versions of a CBI programme — high density, low density, and no embedded questions. Child... |
Psychological norms for simple three-line graphic shapes. |
2007 |
2169 |
There is a longstanding tradition in psychological research for norming lists of words that are used in experimental studies. The present study extends this practice to graphic imagery by obtaining norming data on 24 simple abstract graphic shapes co... |
The Questionable Effect of Retinal Variables on Information Displays: Implications for Problem Solving and Learning |
2005 |
3327 |
This study challenged the long-held assumption that the ?retinal variable,? such as color or shape, used to represent data on an information display influences how well it is interpreted and understood. Forty-eight undergraduates solved problem scena... |
This issue. [Editorial to special issue “New visions of mentoring”] |
